Filled with northern light, this 39sq Martin Friedrich-designed family residence fulfils every expectation. A benchmark home from this renowned architectural practice, this exceptional four bedroom plus home-office, four bathroom, dual-suite design achieves family harmony with a cleverly zoned plan featuring well-defined formal, family & al fresco zones at garden level, a dedicated bedroom level on the first-floor, and Friedrich's signature helical stair with occulus skylight at the heart of it all.Expansively accommodating with a private master-wing encompassing a third of the upper-level, the design offers a balconied second-suite to fit in-laws, independent children and guests, and a library-fitted home for work-life balance. Putting the focus on spectacularly entertaining living, there’s a place for quiet reflection around the formal lounge’s gas-log fireplace, and space for expansive inside, outside, poolside entertaining in all-day sun beyond walls of glass and beneath lofty 3m ceilings.Appointed to support this entertaining life with an elite Miele appliance and Emporite cabinetry kitchen (with Liebherr integrated fridge-freezer), a ‘secret’ butler’s pantry and 230-bottle glass-door cellaring, the home is detailed to the most demanding architectural specification. Offering the perfect escape to 5-Star bathrooms featuring Italian Paco Janssen whiteware, Australasian Methven tapware, and imported porcelain tiles, there’s an impressive freestanding bath for the dual-vanity principle ensuite, heated towel-rails for every bathroom, and a walk-in robe for every bedroom (dual for the principal suite).Richly detailed with natural Pietra Grigio marble benchtops (wrapping all sides of the vast dining bench), Royal Oak floors and plush premium carpets, the home sparkles with designer lighting from About Space, and shines with full-height double-glazing at every turn (with a pillarless corner for indoor outdoor living.) Climate-controlled over 4 zones with two gas-fireplaces, the home is secured by video-intercom and alarm, and features a ducted vacuum. As beautifully appointed outside as in, this outstanding design positions the fully-tiled dual-heated pool in due north sun, and places three car-parking (including a double auto-garage) behind auto gates in landscaped approx 400sqm grounds.Situated in one of Brighton's most family-wise locations, the property is just around the corner from Wilson St. dog park, an easy stroll to both Firbank and Brighton Grammar, and a minute to Haileybury and St. Leonard’s Colleges. A stroll to Church St and Middle Brighton station, this central location puts the the beach and new Lifesaving Club within a minute's drive, and the CBD within an easy commute by road, rail or cycle.
